Hi all: I've had an icecast2 stream up for about a week now and thought I'd tell you all about it. This is a very primitive setup - using icecast2 and libshout on a linux box and using the example program along with a random sort utility to shunt the files to the server. The stream is at 22.05khz mono at the lowest bitrate, meaning it hovers around the 32kbps mark. there are 38 songs up there currently. Each has a comment tag, so you should get title, artist and other good stuff as the stream plays. If you'd like to test it out, feel free to connect to: http://bumpy.braille.uwo.ca:9000/test.ogg I intend to add more songs as I find time to do so. Also, I mean to shift the stream over to ices2 once I compile it and figure out how it works. Will let you know when I've done this. Enjoy! Geoff. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

This should probably be in the Icecast list... Now that people have streams up and running, I thought I might ask and see if anybody has been able to successfully compile a win32 version of icecast2 and/or ices2. I don't have access to MSVC compilers and I haven't had much luck compiling with Mingw. That's not to say it wouldn't work well with Mingw, I'm only a second rate programmer without a clue. If anybody else has created a compiled a working binary with Ming that would be REALLY helpful. Stream sounds great for the bit rate Geoff. I see you got the song info included in the stream. I haven't seen anybody else implementing that yet.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the info for accessing the CVS currently used for icecast2.0 can be found at http://i.cantcode.com/~jack/icecast.html --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
